Step into the future with The Sun News: Introducing ‘Edition’ — your enhanced experience

Call me a nerd, but I enjoy the science fiction and spy genres. Think about all the cool devices you have seen in a James Bond movie or Star Wars.

Writers, producers, actors, and editors have incorporated magical and futuristic devices and technologies into your life through their imagination. Here are just a few examples: tablets, smartphones, 3D printers, Bluetooth earbuds, and smart glasses.

I love using my smartphone to take pictures, listen to music, communicate with readers, and control many intelligent apps in my home.

A robotic vacuum cleans up the dog’s hair regularly, and I use a tablet to watch TV and movies, especially while traveling to or from a vacation.

Besides the fantastic technology predicted in science fiction and spy movies, most of the genre has a positive outlook on the future and focuses on improving things. Sure, there will be issues along the way, but communities of individuals working with new technology will save the day and right wrongs.

Our Sun News readers will explore, embrace and engage the changes and new technologies in the coming weeks, months, and years as local journalism and consumer habits evolve.

I invite you savvy readers to enjoy our newest step forward with the launching of our new-and-improved digital experience with what we’re simply calling Edition.

Here are some Edition highlights:

• Responsive tabbed pages and quick access section navigation.
• Story links inside articles that let you dig deeper into what you’re reading.
• The ability to watch videos and browse photo galleries.
• Interactive puzzles and games you don’t need to print to enjoy (though you still can if you want to).
• Enhanced features that make it easier to share your favorite articles.

Accessing Edition is simple. It arrives each morning in your email inbox, ready for you to dive into. Alternatively, you can click on the link in the upper left of the homepage at MyrtleBeachOnline.com, providing instant access to the latest news and updates.
